Package used to work, after update to 1.6 it doesnt anymore

Try build NCDatasets (in pkg-mode)

Not sure. build NetCDF_jll?

BTW Oceananigans installs fine on my linux machine with 1.6, and the file `~/.julia/artifacts/0a7f440ba143b238cc3dd0def2956d34d76755f3/lib/libnetcdf.so" exists on my machine.

Hm okay thanks for testing anyway. Do you know what exactly 1 dependency errored means? Does it mean Oceananigans?

I would suspect that it is a dependency. But not so helpful… Judging by your first post is is one of the two I suggested to re-build.

Could it be that I broke something with git stash? I wanted to pull the newest updates from the repository, without committing my changes, so I ran git stash.
I’m asking bc that was something I did the first time today.

If you don’t have objections to this, you could try to remove ~/.julia. That can solve a lot of cache-related problems.

It can also be that the package from which you’re loading the environment is broken (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/2381). But, given that you said the package works, that’s probably not it.

What’s the value of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Inside Julia run

ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]

It’d be useful if you could run strace on julia and find out what file is missing. Also, how did you install Julia?

That won’t do much: mbedtls comes with julia in v1.6, so the error is much earlier than NCDatasets

I am getting this one:

julia> @show ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]
ERROR: KeyError: key "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" not found
Stacktrace:

 [2] getindex(#unused#::Base.EnvDict, k::String)
   @ Base ./env.jl:79
 [3] top-level scope
   @ show.jl:955

But versioninfo() doesnt give me any info about the environment at all. So I guess something has been broken there?

julia> versioninfo()

I installed Julia through pacman with pacman -S julia

So you are using Arch Linux? I strongly recommend to use aur/julia-bin instead. The fact you’re using the package from Arch Linux repositories is very likely the culprit here

Ok I reinstalled from the binary and now it actually seems to work. Thank you!

To be more precise, this was the package I had to choose instead of the community one.
